Description
How do you worship when you're depressed? Where do you find words to express inexpressible joy? What do you pray when you need hope?
Soul Anatomy is a biblical guide for working through emotional turmoil in a gospel-centered way. It shows how the Psalms serve as a God-authored script by which to express every category of the human experience.
The Bible's inspired hymnbook guides believers through the highest summits and lowest troughs of life and invites the not-yet believer to a Redeemer who ultimately experienced all of the emotions of these prayers in his incarnation.
Author George Robertson enables readers to find a sympathetic Savior in the Psalms who experienced every human emotion, and he helps men and women see the God-inspired vocabulary for expressing every feeling to the Father.
Soul Anatomy helps men and women respond to the love of God in all the ways the psalmists do: spiritually, vocationally, physically, and volitionally. As divinely inspired prayers, God offers the vocabulary he welcomes from us when we do not know how to pray.
Discover the heart of Jesus through the prayers of Jesus, the high priest who can sympathize with us.

Laura L, Reviewer
George Robertson takes readers on a journey through the Psalms in Soul Anatomy: Finding Peace, Hope, and Joy in the Psalms, published by New Growth Press. It's a thoughtful look at the psalms and how they help us to express our emotions, how they help us to pray, how they help us to experience God more deeply.
Robertson says the psalms invite us to understand ourselves in light of who God is, to increase our boldness in prayer, to give us voice for our emotions and show us how to process suffering, and to ground us in life-changing theology. And so, Robertson specifically dives into 24 specific psalms, addressing topics like happiness, justice, depression, waiting confidently, when facing accusations, and life under the cross. He unpacks each psalm and helps readers think through what they learn about God and themselves. He also gives readers plenty to think about and apply as they work through the questions at the end of each chapter.
All in all, it's a great book about the psalms--so appropriate in any season of life since the psalms address almost every human emotion. Robertson models for readers how to approach the psalms to dig deep and mine the truth as well as learn to experience God more deeply.
